Sunrise

The road the righteous travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight has come. (Proverbs 4:18 GNB)

Today's meditation:

• Relentless pursuit of long-term goals, like education and service, bring vast rewards but need constant encouragement along the way.

Pray today:

• For faculty and staff who begin pre-planning workshops and activities for the new school year, for them to get progressively better at their work with each passing day, for them to discern the needs of our students and have insight and sensitivity to meet those needs.
• For faculty to prepare effective lessons and methods, for new faculty to assimilate quickly, for all faculty to be ready for the first day of class, to be innovative in their teaching.
• For staff training and preparation this week to help us be ready to meet the many challenges our students face, for best methods to assist those who will need academic help, for others who will need emotional and relational guidance, for still others who will need spiritual re-birth and discipleship, for all our students to develop day by day towards their full potential.

Pray First! Pray Through!
